Husband just diagnosed with pancreatic cancer - what can we expect?

Hi, today my husband got diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. I’m so scared because I’ve read life expectancy even with surgery is short. Is there anyone who can advise me of what’s to come please?

  • Hi Gdp and welcome to the forum, although I'm sorry to hear about your husband's diagnosis.

    I know this must be a very scary and overwhelming time for you both, but I hope this information we have about pancreatic cancer will answer some of your questions and give you some idea of what may happen next.

    Hopefully you will hear back from the community soon but if you or your husband would like to discuss anything about his diagnosis or how you are feeling with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday (except bank holidays) between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very friendly and will do all they can to help you on this journey.

    We're thinking of you Gdp and are sending all our support your way.

    Kind regards,
